Status: offline 		should I run on 2.2 or 2.8 wheels ?
I will take a look at those masher stinkypinky, looks liek an interesting set up!

and thanks for the input on the bulkhead jatosan I think I will stick with the plastic ones for now (since my budget is not unlimited!) but definitely a future upgrade!

what about the wheelie bar ? will I keep flipping over if I dont have one ? I guess it depends your throttle dexterity!

Also I am planning on taking off the ezstart system, I have a starter box coming in the mail, will the stock flywheel work with a starter box?

Which compound did you get or would you recommend?  Can I get any of the styles as long as they are the 1/10 ones on there web site? I want the 2.8's right? I am confused can you just let me know what size and all I need so I can buy these. thank you for the help.


There are ones that are made just for the Jato. I will get you the part numbers tomorrow but yes they are 2.8 inch. They also have some very cool carbon fiber looking ones.

Here are the tire and wheel part numbers. JAC2020 fir the front and JAC2040 for the rear. Here is the link to towers. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0096p?&N=N&C=&P=7&S=0000000&F=IMXC7461&L=INTC5257&S1=JATO&S2=&S3=&S4=
Just scroll down towards the bottom of the page and you will see them.

What radio controller would you recommend? Is the upgraded one from traxxas any good? I am sure there is better but I have one car and I am really not looking at more so I think the most inportant thing for me would be the locked signal.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXJS2&P=7
the MIP are like 30 buck but the traxxas one 45! exect for the little rubber protection on the traxxas ones I don t know why they are better !

for the radio If you want to go 2.4GHz I would recommend spektrum radio, I have the DX3 and it works pretty good !

5. upper and lower bulkhead ( are those fragile? should I need extras for the whole seasons?)



I use aluminum upper bulkhead. Integy works real well but I would stick to composite lower bulckhead as it keeps front end a bit flexible. If you want to go aluminum on lower bulkhead don't use integy. Also for strength, I would get this triangle brace (right in front of gas tank in picture) which you can find from New Era. They also make it in carbon.




Do you have the link to buy it ? I can t find it on the new era model website !

Status: offline 		Hi all....Just your typical newbie question I guess....I have a Jato with the 2.5 on it....It ran great last year...now this year..It starts perfectly with no issues....Seems like as soon as it gets up to operating temperature it quits and won't restart...(Until it's cooled down again)....So..I thought that maybe the engine was pooched...So I went out and bought another 2.5 engine,,(Used...but good compression)....and am having the exact same results.....???
I'm stumped...any ideas or help would be really appreciated...

You could have an air leak that gets worse as the engine gets hotter. Try and seal them up and see how they run afterwards.

My mistake 4tec_buoy. I got that brace from a company called Agressive Technologies. Here is the link:

http://www.aggressivetechnologies.com/store/cart/index.php?page=2&maincat_id=10

They also make swaybar mounts for RPM arms which I thought was kinda cool. I think new era also has these braces but they don't look the same although they do have one that is carbon fibre.

P.S. Just finished rebuilding my transmission on the Savage. No more posts from me for a while on that forum. What a chore that was. Jato is still tops in my book.

Check out Horizon Hobby:

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PRO112002

They should also have dish wheels. If not check out traxxas or e-bay.

Good luck.

Status: offline 		can anyonetell me why all of a sudden my jato 3.3 is destroying glow plugs? just put talon tires on it and it does alot of flipping and cartwheels now, is this why the filament in the plug keeps breaking? Also, it is sluggish on takeoff then comes alive and lifts the front skyward, any suggestions on how to get better throttle response? And once in awhile it stays in second gear after a high speed run and thens goes back to first after cracking the gas a few times. I need all the advice I can get

Status: offline 		LSN for better throttle response. You may be burning plugs bcuz of running to lean. Or also running to rich. If your LSN is set to rich then fuel will puddle in your engine. That may be why when you take off its a bit sluggish then it comes alive toward the top. That will alsokill your glow plug. Go with a medium plug it will last longer also.

Status: offline 		Steering Bell Crank- I broke mine, is it worth the money to get an upgraded aluminum one? Looks like they run about $25-30 bucks. I'd prefer to save the money and just get a stock one, but if it is going to coninually break I guess it would be more cost effective to go ith aluminum.
What are your thoughts? Is this a freak occurrence or will this happen again? I wasnt bashing very hard, but I did lose control at WOT and flip into some bush/trees
